Overview

The approach described in this book is different from that in most student texts, and has been very successful in practice, starting almost from scratch, but omitting many of the ‘basics’ such as the details of hematopoiesis, laboratory technology, and so on, which are hardly relevant to the practising clinician and student in the wards, and are primarily of interest to the hematologist and sometimes to the clinical specialist. Considerable emphasis is given to the clinical history and examination, and the interpretation of the clinical patterns thus exposed. Hopefully it will overcome many of the traditional problems experienced in practical diagnostic haematology.

Reviews

From the reviews: Practical diagnoses of adult hematological disorders from a clinical perspective are the focus of this book. ! Written for the 'practicing clinician and student in the wards,' this book would be helpful to generalists ! medical students, and pathology residents early in their training. It might also be useful for practicing pathologists as a refresher on the clinical aspects of diseases frequently subject to esoteric laboratory testing. ! This is a great book containing a wealth of pearls on clinical diagnoses of adult hematological disorders. (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Review Service, February, 2009)
